Joshua Lloyd Ginnelly (born 24 March 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Walsall on loan from Burnley.

Playing career

Following his release from the Aston Villa youth system, Ginnelly began a two-year scholarship with Shrewsbury Town in 2013.[3] He made his Football League debut under manager Micky Mellon on 30 August 2014, coming on as a late substitute for James Collins in a 2–0 win over Luton Town at the New Meadow.[4]

He was offered his first professional contract in March 2015,[5] but he failed to return to training the following pre-season with his contract situation unresolved.[6] He was subsequently reported to be having trials with Norwich City,[7] and Burnley,[8] joining the latter for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal on 10 August 2015.[9]

Ginnelly joined National League side Altrincham on an initial one-month loan in January 2016.[10]

In July 2016, Ginnelly signed for Football League One side Walsall on loan until January 2017.[11]
